This is a security measure.

Flexible use of existing inventions.

The transport steam truck behind was loaded with a lot of these hot air balloons. All of them are used to protect Li Zhen in an emergency.

As soon as there is any wind and grass, Li Zhen will be put into a hot air balloon, and then he will be released into the air at a height of several hundred meters. The personnel below began to fight without any scruples.

Because I was afraid that the hot air balloon would float away with the wind. Therefore, the hot air balloon is connected to the transport vehicle by a rope, which is a very light and thin, but very strong nylon rope. It is more than 500 meters long.

As soon as the hot air balloon rose a little bit, Li Zhen shouted: "Stop!" ”

The blowtorch was extinguished, and the balloon descended again. Everyone hurriedly and anxiously said, "Dean Li, go to heaven first." ”

"The front met the troops of the imperial court, and the situation is unknown."

"Safe in the sky!"

“……”

Li Zhen forced himself down and said, "Don't be a soldier. It's a joke. Go, ask what's going on, negotiate first. ”

Qi was stunned and went to the front, and came back and said: "They said that they were sent by the imperial court, and they said that they were going to escort you to Eight Dragon City along the way, and the team to ensure your safety on the way." ”

Li Zhen nodded: "Okay, let's keep going." ”

“……”

At the front of the line, wait solemnly.

On Li Zhen's side, those bald heads equipped with the latest weapons swarmed to the front line, loaded all their guns, and then lay on the ground to maintain a shooting posture.

The rest of the people of the various forces are also in a state of hostility.

On the side of the imperial court, it was so well-trained and uniform at first sight. Ordinary officers and soldiers were a little scared.

Because they are not as rich as the people of Dongzhou at all. There wasn't that much equipment at all.

Of the more than 5,000 people, only a little more than 100 were equipped with firearms. The rest were armed with machetes, spears, shields, and the like. Now it is located in the plains, and if you really want to fight, the opponent will just shoot a salvo, and you will be able to stubble after stubble like leeks.

The leader of the imperial court department hurriedly jumped off the horse, with horror and anxiety in his eyes: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Don't shoot, everyone, calm down, calm down. I was ordered by the Son of Heaven to escort Dean Li into Beijing along the way, and my name is Huang Youren. This is my proof, and my seal. ”

On Li Zhen's side, everyone was silent and unmoved.

After a long stalemate, Li Zhen sent someone to say: "You wait to retreat immediately." No protection is required. Within half an hour, they immediately retreated and left ten kilometers away. Otherwise, it will be punished as an enemy attack. ”

Huang Youren was so frightened that he turned his head and ran, jumped on his horse and yelled: "Withdraw, withdraw!" ”

Hysterically yelling, for fear that if you run slower for a second, there will be a clash and a fight.

He was really sent by Xun Jiayuan to escort Li Zhen into Beijing, but he didn't expect Li Zhen's team to be so large and so large. More than 20,000 people are all equipped with firearms, all of them are ultra-high-standard equipment.

This is not a bad army.

Not to mention fighting, I didn't even dare to make contact.

Today, only the troops in Dongzhou can be equipped with so much awesome equipment.

Alloy Heavy Armor, alloy heavy armor that can completely resist arrows. War horses, all of them are fat and strong war horses. Each person has a firecracker, each has a machine crossbow, and each has a simple knife.

With these equipment alone, only one or two hundred people are needed to kill a few of these five thousand troops. Not to mention that 20,000 people are all equipped with this equipment.

Not to mention, there is also a group of fierce bald heads in front of the team. All long guns and short guns.

Which is this Nima security forces? I'm afraid it's not the main force that is coming to attack Eight Dragon City, right?

Li Zhen's team continued to advance, and the imperial army was completely gone.

Even if they were really people from the imperial court to protect Li Zhen, the people on Li Zhen's side would never allow it. Who knows if this group of people wants to get close, if they want to blend in with the group? The heart of defense is indispensable.

All the way forward.

Finally arrived at the first important city of the imperial court - Hebi County.

Li Zhen's 20,000 troops began to assemble here, but the city gate of Hebi County was closed, and all the imperial troops above the city tower looked at the elite troops below with fear, and did not dare to open the city gate at all.

said that he wanted Li Zhen to meet the Son of Heaven, but he didn't say that he would bring 20,000 troops into Beijing. What if it's really going to attack Eight Dragons City? That's 20,000 people, not thousands.

Moreover, these 20,000 people are all long guns and short artillery, and no well-armed person dares to touch their edge. Who would dare to put it in? Although the county towns before Hebi County were released, they didn't dare not let go, and those small county towns didn't dare to offend the 20,000 troops at all. The result is the same whether you let it go or not, if people want to beat you, they can end you in a county in a few minutes. Do you dare not let go?

But Hebi County is different, with heavy troops stationed and towering city walls. I don't dare to let it go......

Qi was stunned and shouted under the city tower: "Open the city gate." We are going to negotiate with Xun Tianzi! ”

On the city tower, the county lord of Hebi County had a bitter face: "The imperial court only said that Li Zhen would enter Beijing, not that 20,000 troops would enter Beijing." It is okay to open the door, but the armed forces are ten miles back, and Li Zhen can take three or five followers into the city. ”

"your ancestors' crooked farts!"

“……”

The negotiations could not be reached, so it was deadlocked.

Hebi County did not dare to let it go, and Li Zhen's side could not attack. After all, it is a negotiation, not to destroy the imperial court.

This stalemate lasted for seven days directly outside Hebi County!

Li Zhen was a little anxious. If you're going to Baqiao, you can't be trapped here.

And the county lord of Hebi County was also in a hurry, and how many fast horses were sent to deliver the message, but he never received a reply. Radio was popularized, but it could only send messages unilaterally, and the imperial court could send messages to the counties, but the counties could only send horses to deliver messages.

The lord of Hebi County guards the radio almost every day, for fear of missing it.

"Ancestor, it's a decision. With a force of 20,000 people, if you fight me in Hebi County, I'm afraid no one will survive, right? ”

"Ugh."

“……”

At this time, in the city of Eight Dragons.

It also fell into a heated discussion.

Everyone naturally knew the news that Li Zhen had entered Beijing with 20,000 armed forces, but they fell into a mysterious silence, and no one dared to make a decision easily.

Xun Jiayuan also fell into deep thought, he never thought that Li Zhen would have such a powerful armed force, according to the people on the front line, more than 20,000 people were well-trained, all of them were well-equipped regular troops.

If they were to be let into the Eight Dragons City, wouldn't there be a big mess? It's good that there is no fighting, but once there is friction, a full-scale conflict breaks out. That can even paralyze the central Eight Dragons City of the imperial court.

To release, or not to release?

Xun Jiayuan felt that he would drag it first......

"Are you here?"

"When are you coming?"

"I've been waiting for you for a long, long time, and you're not coming, someone."

“……”

There seemed to be a woman whispering softly in her ears.

Suddenly awakened, Li Zhen stood up anxiously and shouted: "I'm coming!" ”

After shouting, he was stunned. But he saw that all the people in the tents around him were looking at him.

Qi was stunned: "Have a nightmare?" ”

Li Zhen blushed and shook his head: "No." ”

Lay down again, with some doubts in his eyes, what a strange dream. I used to feel like I was dreaming inexplicably, but I never felt so clear as I am today, as if someone was whispering in my ear.

That's someone's heart.

Li Zhen sighed, pushed open the curtain of the tent and walked out, looking at Hebi County with the city gate closed in the distance, and a fiery look suddenly flashed in his eyes. My heart was extremely heavy, and I couldn't wait to fly to Eight Dragons City.

"Qi stunned, how many numbers are there today?"

"It's the 22nd."

Li Zhen's eyes narrowed: "How far is Hebi County from Eight Dragon City?" ”

"Starting from Hebi County, it will take about ten days to reach Eight Dragon City. But now Hebi County is not open. ”

Qi stunned actually still hoped that Hebi County would never open the door, so that Li Zhen could return to Laoshan helplessly, and it would be better if there was no danger.

Li Zhen counted the days and suddenly gasped. Time is running out.

November 1st is coming.

"Can't wait!"

PS: Today is probably the third watch. Now I have something to go out. If you come back in the evening, there will be two more shifts long ago, and if there is no update before eleven o'clock, then you don't have to wait. ，

Now I'm old. Five shifts a day, hum haha.
